The Bulldog Pride Alumni Association will kick off its inaugural activities on Friday, October 20, 2023, during the ORRHS Homecoming halftime. The launch of ORR’s first-ever alumni association will coincide with a full program of Alumni Weekend events open to all alumni and friends of ORR from Friday, October 20 through Sunday, October 22.
Homecoming 2023 and Alumni Weekend is an opportunity for graduates of ORRJHS and ORRHS to reconvene in support of our school and to establish an outlet for alumni and friends to volunteer and contribute in service to students, teachers and staff. The program of events is open to all alumni and friends… an inclusive experience that hopes to bring together the common alumni experience that span decades.

All proceeds and contributions from the events will go directly to the BPAA’s endowment fund. The BPAA has committed to funding the Bulldog Pride Award, an annual scholarship given to a graduating ORRHS senior, for the period of 2024-2029. The award, founded in 2019, is the first-ever alumni-sponsored scholarship at ORRHS. Initiated by the Class of 1988, it has been awarded each year between 2019-2023.
Born from volunteer efforts and resources offered by the Class of 1988, along with members of the Classes of ’85, ’86, ’87, ’89 and ’91, the Bulldog Pride Alumni Association (BPAA) is dedicated to harnessing the immense resources of the Old Rochester Regional (ORR) alumni to provide much needed support to students and the school.
The overwhelming generosity and volunteer efforts of ORR alumni has led us to this moment. As we stand on the precipice of a consequential time in the establishment of the BPAA, we are looking for additional support to buttress these efforts. No idea is too great that cannot be achieved through the collective efforts of our community. Together we can make a difference in the lives of ORR students and the broader ORR community.
